Fuji Bikes actually has a long history in cyclocross, one that includes titanium cyclocross frames piloted by cyclocross legend Paul Curley in the 90s. Jonathan Page, four-time National Champion, began riding the Fuji Altamira CX 1.1 in 2013 after switching from his “mystery bike” he piloted to win the 2013 Nationals.

The new Altamira CX 1.1 Disc is a new disc model with the C10 carbon that Fuji uses in its top-end bikes. Fuji has played with the carbon it uses in its frames over the years. Initially the complete bikes were using the company’s C5 carbon, and only the stunning, candy apple 2013 $1800 CX 1.1 frameset featured the lighter, higher modulus C10 carbon.

Compared to the 2013 Altamira CX 1.3 Disc we reviewed in Issue 19, Page’s frame is lighter due to the lighter, stiffer carbon. However, this year, all complete Altamira CX Disc bikes utilize the C10 carbon.

Good point @dusttires. But even though we brought a scale, we chose to photograph the actual bikes raced, not pit bikes of spare bikes or the bikes with different tires. See that mud? The weights wouldn’t mean anything. They were all over the place due to the conditions, and there wasn’t time, especially that Monday, to get a clean bike weight after the race.
